INTERNATIONAL
INVENTORY FINANCING

The resources you need. Before the opportunity has passed.

U.S. Transportation prices rising…off shore sourcing more prevalent…transportation times increasing inventory costs…yet there is pressure to reduce costs. If these issues are plaguing your company and they feel as if they are competing against each other, Freight Master Logistics^SM (FML) offers a breakthrough solution.

While companies are expanding to offshore suppliers because of U.S. labor costs and rising U.S. transportation costs, emphasis has been placed on lower piece cost, modal optimization and transport pricing. While total piece costs have decreased due to
off-shore sourcing, inventory costs have risen due to long lead times.

2 to 4 week of safety stock has translated into 4-6 weeks of inventory in a foreign country and on the ocean, causing a company’s Global Supply Chain Financing Cost to escalate. Tension and negotiation between manufacturer and supplier has caused executives to
weigh capital investment for inventory vs. production. International shipping has transferred ownership and cost structure from the supplier to the manufacturer, with limited information available about product disposition.

This dynamic has translated into:
> Increased inventory carrying costs
> Reduced capital for necessary production shifts, including tightening foreign capital
> Increased logistics management costs
> Increased logistics risks as supply chain carries more burden
